I love going out for tapas, and over the years I've been to
La Tasca many a time. Edinburgh's West End, The Omni Centre (where we were last night) or even in the middle of Liverpool - no matter what branch you go into, you know what to expect, and that is good solid tapas, with all the crowd pleasers, good service, and, especially with a group of people, a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
Wine
You can never go wrong with Rioja, and as for the sangria - delicious. Last night we opted for cava - at £23 not cheap (compared to Scotmid's great value £5 bottles), but excellent. And if you're not in the mood for wine, there's always a good range of Spanish beer. So, 2 bottles of cava later ...
Food
Made all the more tasty by the fact that we had a '2 for 1' voucher, the food was of the usual high standard. We ate a huge selection, including calamari, langoustines, chicken croquettes, spare ribs, meatballs (of course!), chorizo and patatas bravas (and more ...).
Overall Rating
Better than the tourist trap tapas I had in Barcelona, La Tasca remains a firm favourite of mine. Excellent service, good food, nice wine and fab company - a very good night, and great value for money.
